Fish comprises sentences with the utmost eloquence. While he dissects famous sentences, his own fit among the most well written. If you want to understand how to see sentences with a critical eye would do good to read this book. Yet, Fish sometimes drags on making the reading tedious at times. Mostly, he gives the reader the benefit of the doubt and assumes an educated and intelligent individual. 4/5 stars! Thank you Mr. Fish.
